BY: Senator GRIFFO

 CONGRATULATING Arthur and Phyllis Ellis upon the
 occasion of celebrating their 50th Wedding
 Anniversary

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body takes great pleasure in paying
tribute to flourishing marriages that have stood the test of time and
serve as a paradigm for present and future generations; and

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to congratulate
Arthur and Phyllis Ellis upon the occasion of celebrating their 50th
Wedding Anniversary on Saturday, October 19, 2024; and

 WHEREAS, On October 19, 1974, high school sweethearts, Arthur Ellis
and Phyllis Dontino, were married at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Utica,
New York; the couple were blessed with two children, Anthony and Maria;
and

 WHEREAS, Both raised in Utica, Arthur (Artie) Ellis is a graduate of
Proctor High School, and Phyllis (Dontino) Ellis is a graduate of St.
Francis De Sales High School; and

 WHEREAS, In 2008, after 30 years of distinguished service as a
Trooper with the New York State Police, Arthur Ellis retired as a result
of health-related issues from his service at Ground Zero in New York
City, following the 9/11 terrorist attacks; and

 WHEREAS, After 40 years of distinguished service to the Oneida
County Health Department, Phyllis Ellis retired in 2020; and

 WHEREAS, Through the years, Arthur and Phyllis Ellis enjoyed the
growth of their family, welcoming grandchildren, Jackson and Ariana; and

 WHEREAS, The love, devotion, and caring Arthur and Phyllis Ellis
have shown to their family, friends, and all who know them are their
hallmark and tradition; this meaningful occasion is the result of the
love, hard work, and spirit they have invested in their happy marriage;
and

 WHEREAS, Arthur and Phyllis Ellis have touched the lives of their
family and many friends through the shining example of their marriage
which is a testament to their devotion and admiration for each other;
the longevity of this enduring marriage truly marks a milestone in
life's journey, an event of personal triumph and joy; and

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that, when an
occasion of such importance is brought to our attention, the same should
be memorialized by us for the edification and emulation of others; now,
therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate Arthur and Phyllis Ellis upon the occasion of celebrating
their 50th Wedding Anniversary; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Arthur and Phyllis Ellis.
